Join us for the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations Seminar on 24 October, as part of WA Children's Week.
During WA Children's Week, 18 - 26 October, the Department of Communities is raising awareness about the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, including the rights of children.
Organisations who interact or engage with children can get involved by hosting their own micro-events or attending the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations Seminar on Friday 24 October, either in person or online.
The seminar features international and local keynote speakers, providing organisations with practical ways to implement the National Principles, focusing on the rights and participation of children and young people.
It's a great opportunity for organisations to learn more about engaging children and young people in decision making to create a culture of safety and wellbeing in their communities.
There are 10 National Principles that provide a framework to guide organisations in developing child safe cultures and practices, including the ability to identify risks and take agreed actions to prevent, respond to and report child abuse.
This year in WA Children's Week, Communities are aligning to the theme, "Everyone should know about Children's Rights!", which provides a focus on National Principle 2 - Children and young people are informed about their rights, participate in decisions affecting them and are taken seriously.
For the seminar, you can choose to attend in person or online. Visit Eventbrite to find out more or register for your preferred option.
